Did you know most pressure ulcers (also known as pressure injuries, bedsores, decubitus ulcers) are preventable!
So if you did develop a pressure ulcer anywhere on your body whilst in a healthcare facility, or being cared for by a healthcare worker at home, you may want to know why it happened, what could have been done to prevent it and what you can do about it now.
Have you got horrible scars from the pressure ulcer? Did it heal or do you still have a smelly draining wound?
Were you treated for an infection? Did you require surgery to remove dead tissue from the ulcer? Did you lose a limb?
If you, or a relative, have any questions please send me an email info@expertwitnessnurse.com.au
Anything you tell me will be treated in confidence.
